Week of 27 SEP - 03 OCT 2010 NATO RESTRICTED /I FOUO REL UNDSS IDC Weekly Security Narrative: Week of 27 SEP - 03 OCT 2010 RC-NORTH: 1. General Assessment of RC-N AOR The number of enemy initiated events in RC-N decreased slightly (14 events this week versus 20 last week) when compared to the previous reporting period . RC­ N had seen a steady rise in enemy initiated activity over the last several weeks, but this week saw a continued decrease in the number and intensity of incidents. This may be due in part to insurgents exhausting short-term supplies by increasing their activity so dramatically on 18 SEP in order to disrupt the elections. Still, insurgents were able to conduct several somewhat significant direct fire attacks on CF units, especially in the Baghlan - Kunduz Corridor. Once again, over half these events (8) occurred in the so-called BAGHLAN­ KUNDUZ Corridor (the main routes connecting Pul-e Khumri and Kunduz cities). This is the most historically active area in RC-N , though western FARYAB Province (especially QAISER District) remains very active, even with a significant drop in events Gust under a quarter of all events in the north took place in this area of FARYAB). BALKH Province experienced three events, including one very crude attempt at surface to air fire. Insurgents seem to have returned to their favored tactic of direct fire over lED attacks (Ihough several lEDs were found across the north). These direct fire attacks have increased in intensity and effectiveness to some extent. These are concentrated in the BAGHLAN - KUNDUZ Corridor (especially in the districts of PUL-E KHUMRI , IMAM SAHIB and KUNDUZ) . While the numbers of attacks in RC-North have decreased significantly from the levels seen just a few weeks ago, there is no indication that insurgents are willing to give up on the influence they have achieved (particularly in the KUNDUZ area).

The engagement resulted in three soldiers WIA and a vehicle damaged. The wounded soldiers were evacuated to the KUNDUZ hospital in 48 minutes. One of the wounded soldiers died of his wounds. RC - WEST: 1. General Assessment of RC-W AOR In BADGHIS Province, INS activity is focused in BALA MORGHAB area around the security bubble, with DF being the most common type of evenl. In MUQUR District INS are using a hit and run tactic against FF/ANSF check points. In DARREH-I BUM Village, INS are attacking the Arbakai in a similar manner, avoiding direct engagement. The insurgent leadership within FARAH Province is currently undergoing reorganization. However, this has not diminished insurgent capabilities as lED NATO RESTRICTED /I FOUO REL UNDSS 4 NATO RESTRICTED II FOUO REL UNDSS emplacement coupled with SAF and IDF (that is , a coordinated use of these capabilities) is a common tactic in FARAH. In GHOR Province the usual stable situation is being disrupted by lED emplacement and direct attacks against ANSF/FF performed by power broker groups and insurgents, as happened in CHAGHCHARAN. In addition, tribal/ethnic conflict will as well hamper the security situation of the area. In HERAT Province, insurgent activity was lower than in the previous week. It seems the lull in insurgent activity that followed the elections has continued. However, the best description of activity during the last several days is a normal level of activity. The level of activity has returned that which was in place in HERAT prior to the elections. Most of the events were recorded again in SHINDAND District, where a variety of activity happened, but mainly lED activity (either emplacement, or ordnance found that was likely to be exploited for lED assembly). In addition, there may be another suicide bomber present in SHINDAND District. Neighboring FARSI experienced another event (abduction of Anti-Terrorism ANP Chief) that may be INS related and that would be the second event in two weeks in an area where nothing significant happened for a very long time. INS have restarted their activity against logistic convoys in SABZAK pass area, this time slightly more to the west like as was the case in a majority of events in 2010, IVO and west of GHORUMBAW Village. It seems that INS groups are augmenting their ability day by day, and latest reports indicate that already between 20 and 30 individuals can muster for attacks in this area.

A man searches for the bodies of his relatives inside the ruins of the Médecins Sans Frontières hospital in Kunduz city. (On 3 October, a United States AC-130 aircraft carried out a series of airstrikes against the hospital, resulting in at least 30 deaths and 37 injured). Photo taken on 11 October 2015. "Citizens of Kunduz were subjected to a horrifying ordeal. The street by street fighting coupled with a breakdown of the rule of law created an environment where civilians were subjected to shooting, other forms of violence, abductions, denial of medical care and restrictions of movement out of the city.” Nicholas Haysom, United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Afghanistan, Kabul, 25 October 2015. “This event was utterly tragic, inexcusable, and possibly even criminal. International and Afghan military planners have an obligation to respect and protect civilians at all times, and medical facilities and personnel are the object of a special protection. These obligations apply no matter whose air force is involved, and irrespective of the location." United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, Geneva, 3 October 2015, public statement about attack against the Médecins Sans Frontières hospital.

The Taliban was also targeted by the Islamic State (IS), while Afghan forces clashed with another militia led by an anti-Taliban insurgent. In the de facto Republic of Artsakh, remnant landmines inflicted casualties on civilians and military forces for another week. Protests took place in Armenia against recent changes in the judicial system. In Georgia, demonstrations took place calling for the opening of the Armenian border, which has been closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, restricting economic migration. In Kazakhstan, oil and gas workers continue to protest for better working conditions. In Kyrgyzstan, a new round of opposition protests followed the appointment of the new parliament. In Afghanistan,1ACLED is currently conducting a review of sourcing and reporting of the conflict in Afghanistan since 2020. Afghan forces operations and airstrikes inflicted many fatalities on the Taliban last week in a number of provinces, mainly in Kandahar. Meanwhile, the Taliban attacked a military base in Khan Abad district of Kunduz, killing members of the National Security and Defense and National Civil Order Forces. The group also conducted a suicide attack using a car bomb, inflicting tens of casualties at the Public Order Police base in Nangarhar province. Such attacks have been rare since December 2020. In a separate 1/3 development, IS claimed responsibility for a roadside bomb that killed four Taliban militants in the Chawkay district of Kunar province and another that killed one policeman in Jalalabad city of Nangarhar province.

  • UN Department of Safety and Security, Afghanistan
    SIOC – Afghanistan: UNITED NATIONS CONFIDENTIAL UN Department of Safety and Security, Afghanistan Security Situation Report, Week 41 8 – 14 October 2010 JOINT WEEKLY SECURITY ANALYSIS The number of security incidents decreased slightly compared with the previous weeks, with only the NR and SER recording increases. The increase in activity in the NR, particularly the continued deterioration of the situation along the main highways in Balkh, Jawzjan and Saripul, is severely hampering program delivery in the area. The types of incidents recorded during the week shifted slightly, with decreased armed clashes, particularly noted in the SR, ER and CR, while IED incidents remained consistent with the previous reporting period. Incidents initiated by security forces, particularly air strikes, arrests and cache finds, increased. These operations resulted in the death of several mid level insurgent leaders in Kunduz and Badghis as well as the arrest of two potential suicide attackers in Paktya. Suicide attacks also increased, including the first such attack ever recorded in Ghor Province. Insurgents increased targeting of the civilian population, specifically increased intimidation incidents and assassinations. The renewal of ISAF’s mandate by the UN Security Council prompted a response by Taliban on their website condemning the decision. While no incidents directly affected UN staff members, seven incidents affected the aid community. In Gulran District of Hirat Province, four separate robberies of UN food occurred, two convoys were robbed and food items were stolen from a school and a clinic. Two national staff of an INGO were shot and wounded by unknown gunmen in Faryab, and one NGO guard was abducted in the WR.
